Abstract

We have experimentally studied spherical dc discharges with opposite polarities of the applied voltage. Under otherwise identical conditions, the phenomenon of spherical stratification takes place only when the central electrode is the anode (positive discharge). An analysis of the experimental data shows that the diffusion current component plays a decisive role in the formation of striations in a spherical glow discharge.
